If the sun gets you down

Sometimes, when the weather turns good and the sun shines with it immutable, glaring endlessness, it can leave you feeling very down. Headaches and red skin, allergies and the sweaty, sticky sadness of a body and psyche neither built for, nor able to adapt to, anything over 20 degrees. I like to remind myself that I may not be any good at the sun, but I can cycle a bike with one hand while eating my lunch and talking on the phone, and sometimes you just need to be happy with the hand the universe deals you.
